4 cloves garlic, peeled

In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, celery rot and garlic cloves. Pour over enough water to cover and set pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain and transfer potatoes, clery root and garlic to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and olive and mash or process until smooth ( or lumpy, whatever you like! ). Add more buttermilk if you want smoother potatoes. Fold in chives. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
